The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping


Looks like mono configuration will not work with rca-XLR cables. Requires a true balanced connection. 20 watts a little low (for me anyway) for SE connection. I'm looking forward to reviews on this one

I've been reading "on the schitter" thinks that's what it's called,  look for it on Schits web sight under "about". the links close to the bottom.  they really don't seem to hide much about themselves.  I'm impressed and some good laughs. 

 I've been eyeing these as well and when I get home from deployment I'll be looking closer. Much closer

No, this is a whole different design. It’s more like the Lyr 3 than Vidar.

Sorry, I don’t think so, it is very close to the Vidar, I'd put money on it now seeing both viewing them, as I said probably lower rails and higher bias..

George,

Just because Aegir looks like Vidar does not mean it is like Vidar. Any Class A-like design that fits in the same box as a Class AB design is going to have lower power and higher bias. There are no surprises there. Just like there are no surprises in that there are transformers, capacitors, resistors, and heatsinks used in both designs. 

The "whole different design" I am talking about is the high-bias Continuity design aspect. Vidar is nothing like that. Vidar is a classic Class AB amp. Aegir has an unique output stage and has a lower bias that a 20 watt Class A would have.
